cyber general intermediate real_case

Yeh case bahut famous tha, log kehte hain ki isne Indian Cyber Law ka mukhya drishtikon badal diya. Shreya Singhal ki case mein, Delhi High Court ne Section 66A of the IT Act ko declared ki invalid kaha. Is section mein, government ne logon ko internet par galat jaankari dena ya fake news share karna ghatiya karna tha. Court ne kaha ki is section ne free speech ko chhot kar diya. Logon ko fear mila, ki voh apni batein share karne se pehle sochne ki zaroorat hai ki government ka koi section kya to saavdhani se kya.

Main toh khaungi ki Shreya Singhal case mein Supreme Court ne kuch behtar faisle ki hain. Umar 16 ke bacche ko cyber law mein sahi jaankari di gayi thi. Lekin, agar hamein free speech ki chunautiyon ka saamna karna hota hai, to hamein isey bhi ek naye aadhar par chalne ki zaroorat padegi.
